I've been reflecting deeply on my personal values and ethics. Whenever I discuss enshittification and surveillance capitalism, someone inevitably points out my continued use of Meta platforms, GitHub, and other services. There's this persistent notion that if you're not completely "all in" on ethical digital choices, you're a hypocrite.

I don't think the blame game gets us anywhere. While some in the Fediverse might view my reasoning as excuses, they're genuine considerations. My guiding principle is simple: If something doesn't make me smile and has too many downsides, I don't do it.

Here's a summary of my life choices aligned with my values:

✅ Car-free lifestyle: Walking and running everywhere with my family. We use public transport or get rides for longer distances.

✅ Sobriety: Five years sober, valuing optimal brain function. It took 17 years to understand alcohol's harm to oneself and others.

❌ Plant-based diet: Challenging, but mostly avoiding red meat with regular vegan days at home.

✅ X (Twitter): Completely deleted due to API closures, paid features, hate speech, and Musk's problematic leadership.

✅ WhatsApp: Deleted because of surveillance, AI, ads, and privacy concerns.

❌ Facebook: My personal account was deleted by the platform without any reason given (thank them), though my business still uses it - a "necessary evil" if you want to make profit.

❌ GitHub: Too integrated with work, CI, and organizations to completely abandon. How do you move thousands of repositories that are not up to you?

❌ AI: Using local, private Open WebUI, but AI is ubiquitous and hard to escape. It's in every organizational app and not up to me.

❌ Instagram: Staying for memes and joy, despite knowing Meta's involvement.

❌ Threads: Mixed feelings, might quit or moderate from Mastodon if EU integration ever happens.

❌ LinkedIn: A "necessary evil" as a business owner.

❌ Google: Impossible to completely disconnect due to long-standing business ties.

❌ Bluesky: Rarely used, find the platform uninteresting. Might quit in some point.

✅ Cloud and files: Self-hosting Nextcloud and other infrastructure.

✅ Privacy: Using ungoogled-chromium, custom DNS, comprehensive tracker blocking.

✅ Operating system: Primarily Linux, with a gaming PC and Mac.

So, am I doing enough? I'm trying my best to make conscious, ethical digital choices while acknowledging the complexities of modern tech ecosystems.

File encryption with a browser.

I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!

When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!

I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

Live Demo: dim.positive-intentions.com/?p

Demo Code: github.com/positive-intentions

Hook Code: github.com/positive-intentions

IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ!):
* This is NOT a product. It's for #testing and #demonstration purposes only.
* It has NOT been reviewed or audited. Do NOT use for sensitive data.
* The "password encryption" currently uses a hardcoded password. This is for demonstration, not security.
* This is NOT meant to replace robust solutions like #VeraCrypt. It's just a #proofofconcept to show what's possible with #browser #APIs.

It's uncanny that there is such a #selfhosted movement. I love it, and over the last year or so I've deAWSd, deGoogled and deUSd muchnif my digital life, partly through self hosting.
25 years ago we just called it "running software".

Anyone want to buy my old gaming PC / barebones server from me? US$150

Trying to get the funds together so I can get a much smaller x86 Dell (or Mac Mini?) to build a replacement media server with. My Raspberry Pi 3 is just not powerful enough.

I have removed the top two fans and the 2 hard drives since this picture was taken.

how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

lemmy.world/post/31645721

lemmy.worldhow are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? - Lemmy.Worldright now I’m trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS, treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast. i need it to be remotely controllable, it’d be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible? I’ve dabbled with the “____sonic” ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it. just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully! thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here. (oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)

It's very interesting, as a lay person considering hosting an activity-pub based server and allowing open sign-ups, it felt to me like they were trying to hedge against the fact that once something's published online, especially via a federated publishing network, the publisher doesn't have a legally meaningful (to my mind, but I am not a judge) mechanism to reliably unpublished it from the internet. As I read it, they seemed to be asking the user to agree that all parties understood and accepted this.

I could be wrong, of course, and I'm sure the author of your link would say I am (under their subheading "What about federation?" where they seem to think what I describe is handled implicitly, and that's fine for all parties), but nevertheless it's food for thought for me, in how I might compose/adjust a ToS agreement. Thank you for sharing it.
